Several Memorial Day celebrations will be held throughout KentonCounty.
PARK HILLS – CovingtonCatholic High School will be thefirst school in Northern Ken-tucky to institute mandatorydrug testing for all students.
Administrators at NorthernKentucky’s only all-maleCatholic school in Park Hillssay they are looking to give the600 students enrolled an extrareason to say no. Testing for allstudents will begin when class-es begin for a new school yearAug. 10.
Principal Bob Rowe said itgives students added power tosay no anytime peer pressurehappens.
“They can say ‘I can’t, I gettested at school,’” Rowe said.
Rowe said students will be
directed to coun-seling throughtheir parents ona first failed test.They will not bepunished for afirst offense.
Parents willbe notified first,and the positive
test will be kept confidential, hesaid. The hope is there will notbe another positive test. If asecond positive test happens astudent will be ineligible for ex-tracurricular activities. A thirdoffense will likely lead to expul-sion, according to the school’supdated policy.
CovCath is seeking to teachsaying no to drugs as a life skill,the same way students are giv-en a lifelong foundation in aca-demics, faith balanced with ath-
letics and clubs, Rowe said.“Why not educate our young
men so they lead and have asafe lifestyle for the rest oftheir lives,” Rowe said.
Rowe said discussions abouttesting students have been on-going for more than eightyears.
“We believe in it,” Rowe said.“We believe in keeping kidssafe.”
Creating an environment ofpositive peer pressure and rein-forcing good decisions throughregular incentives is whereCovCath has already put yearsof energy, said Rick Flesch, per-sonal counselor at CovCath.
This year 67 percent of allCovCath students have alreadyproven they are drug free by
EDGEWOOD – St Pius X Ele-mentary principals Jill Lonne-mann and Betsy Greenwellagreed to do anything their stu-dents dreamed up if the stu-dents raised enough money tofund purchase of the school’smuch-needed new science cur-riculum.
That was motivation enoughfor the St. Pius Panther stu-dents, who raised over $30,000for the new curriculum, sched-uled to be in place at the begin-ning of next school year.
Thus it became time for Prin-cipal Lonnemann and Vice Prin-cipal Greenwell to “pay up.”
Since the $30,000 goal wasmet in two weeks, both princi-pals agreed to be duct taped to apole, sprayed until covered withsilly string and to take a pie tothe face as the 500 St. Pius stu-dents watched and cheered.

More than 1 millionseniors have takenadvantage of this“retirement secret.”
9ese materials are not from HUD or FHA and were not approved by HUD or a government agency
Americans are living longer and homevalues are up across the US:
For many senior citizens, their home istheir single biggest asset, o^en accounting formore than 50% of their net worth.
With the cost of basic necessities such asfood on the rise, it’s no wonder why moreand more seniors are using HECM reversemortgage loans to turn their home equityinto extra cash for retirement.
However, there are still millions ofhomeowners who could beneat from thisgovernment-insured FHA loan but maysimply not be aware of this “retirementsecret.”
Some people think that reverse mortgagessimply sound “too good to be true.” Youget cash out of your home and you have nomonthly mortage payments.
NOMONTHLYMORTGAGEPAYMENTS?*EXTRA CASH?
It’s true, no month-ly mortgage paymentsare required with areverse mortgage; thehomeowners only haveto pay for maintenance,property taxes, home-owner’s insurance and, if
required, their HOA fees.In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when
President Ronald Reagan signed the FHAreverse mortgage bill into law over 25 years
ago to help senior citizens remain in theirhomes. cey’re simply an ebective way forfolks 62 and older to get the cash they need
to enjoy their retirement.Although today’s HECM reversemortgages
have been improved to provide even greaterprotection for homeowners, there are still alot of misconceptions. For example, manypeople mistakenly believe the home mustbe paid ob in full in order to qualify for areverse mortgage, which is not the case. Onekey beneat of a reverse mortgage is that itautomatically pays ob your existing mortgage,which frees up cash `ow, a huge blessing forthose on a axed income.
Unfortunately, many homeowners whocould beneat from a reverse mortgage don’teven bother to get more information due torumors they’ve heard.cat’s a shame becausereverse mortgages are helping many seniorslive a better life.
A recent survey by American AdvisorsGroup (AAG), the nation’s number oneHECMreverse mortgage lender, foundmore than 90%of their clients were satisaed with their reversemortgages.
If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, youowe it to yourself to learn more. You may bepleasantly surprised by what you discover.

agreeing to testingthrough the Drug FreeClub of America, Fleschsaid.
Parents signed uptheir children and paidfor them to take the tests.
Club members get sin-gled out when asked toshow a card with theirmost recent test resultsproving they are drugfree. Food is a popular in-centive, Flesch said.
Students are given Air-heads candy, big cookiesat lunch and even restau-rant gift cards in front ofother students.
“So the kids realize, be-ing healthy, carrying mycard, pays off,” he said.
CovCath students atdances for years havebeen offered incentivesto take a voluntarybreathalyzer. They lineup to get gift cards to Chi-
potle for taking a breatha-lyzer, Flesch said.
Trained K-9 dogs havebeen brought in to sniffout drugs in past years aspart of other efforts orga-nized by a school preven-tion committee, said JillFranxman, director ofbusiness operations andmarketing.
“We want these kidswho are never users toknow they are safe andnot subjected to othersusing drugs,” Franxmansaid.
There are no rampantdrug issues, Flesch said.
Drug issues have hap-pened at the school.
“If you have kids whoare tempted, sometimesthey give into tempta-tion,” he said.
According to the May18 letter to parents, "Wedo not have evidence ofwidespread substanceabuse among our studentbody. However, thealarming rise of drug useand addiction in theNorthern Kentucky com-munity at-large is welldocumented.
"This program, withtechnical and financialsupport from St. Eliza-beth Healthcare, Medi-count Management, andthe Drug Free Clubs ofAmerica (DFCA), is in-tended to provide ouryoung men with an addi-tional tool for deterrence,as well as tools to addressusage with appropriatetreatment if/when it oc-curs," the letter stated.
Testing is one part ofan approach to help stu-dents understand the im-portance of stayinghealthy, Flesch said.
“We try to change theculture to where they sayI can’t do that, or I have nointerest in that, it’s goingto take me down thewrong road,” he said.

“I couldn’t believe howexcited the kids got thatwe were actually willingto do anything,” Lonne-mann said before theevent. “I’ll do what it takesto make certain they getthe best education I cangive them. I just hope it’sbanana cream!”

By Steven WuzubiaHealth Correspondent;
Clearwater, Florida: Dr. Meir Shinitzky,Ph.D., is a former visiting professor at DukeUniversity, recipient of the prestigious J.F.Kennedy Prize and author of more than 200international scientific papers on humanbody cells. But now he’s come up with whatthe medical world considers his greatestaccomplishment — A vital compound. sopowerful, it’s reported to repair… even regrowdamaged brain cells. In layman’s terms —Bring back your memory power. And leaveyou feeling more focused and clear-headedthan you have in years!
Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenonin simple terms; “Science has shown whenyour brain nutrient levels drop, you can startto experience memory problems and overallmental fatigue. Your ability to concentrateand stay focused becomes compromised.And gradually, a “mental fog” sets in. Itcan damage every aspect of your life”. Notonly do brain cells die but they becomedysfunctional as if they begin to fade awayas we age. This affects our ability to havemental clarity and focus and impacts ourability to remember things that were easy forus to do in our 20’s and 30’s.
Scientists think the biggest cause of braindeterioration in older people is the decreasedfunctioning of membranes and molecules thatsurround the brain cells. These really are thetransmitters that connect the tissues or thebrain cells to one another that help us withour sharp memory, clear thinking and mentalfocus, even our powers to reason well. “Whenwe are in our 20’s” according to Dr. Shinitzky“our body produces key substances likephosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid”…unfortunately they are believed to be criticalessential nutrients that just fade away with age,much like our memories often do leading tofurther mental deterioration.
As we get older it becomes more frustratingas there is little comfort when you forgetnames… misplace your keys…or just feel “alittle confused”. And even though your foggymemory gets laughed off as just another“senior moment,” it’s not very funny when itkeeps happening to you.
The Missing Linkis Found and Tested
It’s hard to pronounce that’s for sure, butit certainly appears from the astoundingclinical research that this one vital nutrientphosphatidylserine (PS) can really make a hugedifference in our mental wellness. 17 differentdouble blind studies with placebo controlledgroups have been involved in the clinicalresearch of PS with patients between the ages of55-80 years of age. Periodically the researchersgave these patients memory and cognitive testsand the results were simply amazing:1) PS patients outperformed placebo
patients in All 5 Tests -100% Success Rate
2) After only 45 days there was ameasurable improvement inmental function
3) After 90 days, there was animpressive and amazingimprovement in mental function
The group taking phosphatidylserine,not only enjoyed sharper memory, butlisten to this… they were also more upbeatand remarkably more happy. In contrast,the moods of the individuals who took theplacebo (starch pill), remained unaffected….no mental or mood improvement at all.
Vital NutrientReverses “Scatter Brain”
This incredible PS nutrient feeds your brainthe vital nutrient it needs to stay healthy...PS now has the attention of some of the
world’s most prominent brain experts. It hasbeen written up and published in leadingscience and medical journals and its findingshave electrified the International scientificcommunity.
Earth-Shaking SciencePublished, clinical reports show
replenishing your body’s natural supply ofPhosphatidylserine, not only helps sharpenyour memory and concentration — but alsohelps “perk you up” and put you in a bettermood. PS as it turns out also helps to reduceeveryday stress and elevate your mood bylowering your body’s production of thehormone cortisol. When cortisol levels are toohigh for too long you experience fatigue, badmoods and weakness. This drug-free brain-boosting formula enters your bloodstreamfast (in as little as thirty minutes).
Officially Reviewed by the U.S. Food andDrug Administration: PS is the ONLY HealthSupplement that has a “Qualified HealthClaim for both Cognitive Dysfunction andDementia”.

One Simple Trick toReversing Memory Loss

World’s LeadingBrain Expert andWinner of thePrestigious KennedyAward, UnveilsExciting NewsFor the Scattered,Unfocused andForgetful
My MemoryStarted to Scare Me.I would forget all kindsof things and somethingthat I just said earlier
in the day would have completelyslipped my mind. I almost forgotmy granddaughter’s birthday andthat would have been horrible. I hadforgotten lots of other little things alongthe way. I was worried about it.
Over the last several months I’venoticed my memory seemed to be gettingpretty unreliable and so I thought I’dbetter do something about it now. Sowhen I read about this amazing PSnutrient and how much it would helpme with my memory I wanted to try it.
It’s great! I have actual recall now,which is super. After about 6 weeksof taking it on a daily basis is when Ibegan to notice that I wasn’t forgettingthings anymore.
Thanks to PS for giving me mymemory back. It’s given me a lot moreself-confidence and self-esteem. I wouldnot trust my memory without it.

ERLANGER - Experi-ence nature and a visit tothe past during the Er-langer Library’s free pro-grams at the Erlanger De-pot Museum Tuesdays inJune.
“Our goals are to intro-duce citizens who are notalready aware to the va-riety of programs offeredby the library, and encour-age those who are awareof them to attend,” Jenni-fer Beach, children's pro-grammer at the ErlangerBranch of the KentonCounty Public Library,said. “We also want tostrengthen and enhancepartnerships with the cityof Erlanger while provid-ing free educational pro-gram opportunities thatare different from otherofferings in the area. Allthe while encouraging cit-izens to engage with eachother and the outdoors.”
The free programs, forall ages, will be offered 11a.m. to noon every Tues-day in June. Free mealswill be available for chil-dren ages 1 to 18 years.Adults may purchase ameal for $2.50 or bring apicnic. Meet at the shelterat Depot Park. The pro-grams include:
» Birds! Beaks! Sharebooks and do hands-on ex-perimenting with toolsrepresenting differentkinds of birds’ beaks.
» Oh Deer! Usinggames, stories and activ-ities, you’ll learn what car-rying capacity is and whatit means to wildlife. Par-ticipants will pretend to bedeer and compete for foodand shelter, while learningabout science.
» Go for a Hike! Dis-cuss safe hiking tech-
niques, play a backpackpacking game and learnabout trail markers. Takea hike around the park.
» Tales Trees Tale!Learn the parts of a treeby “building” a tree withyou as the parts. Find outwhat trees’ rings meanand how to read them.Learn to identify trees inthe park.
According to Beach,the idea for the programsstarted when she achievedthe Certified ProfessionalEnvironmental Educatordesignation through theKentucky EnvironmentalEducation Council. Shesaid this is an importantpartnership because boththe city and library haveresources to share, andthat they can feed off ofeach others’ strengths.
“Partnering in new en-deavors like this one willallow us to each help fillthe spaces in the other’sservice to the communi-ty,” Beach said. “The li-brary has lots of experi-ence in offering program-ming, and the city hasgreat outdoor spacesavailable for use. Whenthe program is combinedwith those resources ofthe city and furthered bythe free lunch opportunityprovided by the staff ofthe Erlanger and ElsmereSchool District throughthe Summer Food ServiceProgram, we not only canprovide fun and educa-tional programs for thepublic in a great setting,but also provide a servicethat may be instrumentalin the health of many inthe community.”
The location is key forseveral reasons, she said.No. one, it is easily acces-sible to most of the com-munity, including thosewho choose to walk or ride
bikes. It’s close to the li-brary. There is a shelteredplace available in case ofinclement weather and itwill hopefully encouragefamily involvement,Beach said. It also offersthe opportunity to intro-duce the physical spaceand the museum on thegrounds to any in the com-munity who may not be al-ready familiar with it.
Depot Museum em-ployee Michele Roszmanis eager to see the pro-grams up and running atthe museum.
“I think it’s just a de-lightful thing,” she said.“It’s going to be good forthe community and it in-volves children and get-ting them to the museum.This will increase interestin the museum and Er-langer Historical Society.Hopefully this will en-courage people in and out-side of Erlanger to visitthe museum and join thehistorical society.”
The museum which in-cludes a 1943 Bay WindowSouthern X443 Caboosewill be open for tours dur-ing after the programs.Roszman said the cabooseis one of the most prizedpossessions. Erlanger be-came the proud owner ofthe caboose in 1993 andsince then, it has becomethe focal point of DepotPark on Crescent Avenuein Erlanger. It rests along-side the Depot Museum.
Last year the outside ofthe caboose was restoredby Progress Rail in TaylorMill, free of charge. Ef-forts to restore the insideof the caboose are still un-derway and some workhas already begun, ac-cording to Roszman.

1955 HIGHLAND PIKE, FORT WRIGHT, KY 41017
PETERSBURG – Notfar from the Petersburgexit off I-275 in westernBoone County, you’ll findthe county’s 83rd barnquilt.
Mounted on the big150-year-old red barn atFirst Farm Inn bed andbreakfast, it is titled“Please Spay and Neu-ter.” The design was cre-ated to promote spayingand neutering of strayand barn cats.
Several of the catsshown on the quilt reflectthe colors and patterns ofthe 10 stray and rescuedcats that currently callFirst Farm Inn home.
The quilt was designedand painted by Jen War-ner. A member of theSoutheastern Indiana ArtGuild, she is primarily awatercolorist and pho-tographer who also cre-ates mosaics and hasdone stained glass. Paint-ing on such a large scaleand with acrylic paintwas a new experience forher.
Jen and her husband,Dana Kisor, moved toKentucky 19 years agowith their toddler Ty tostart the bed and break-fast. They chose the1870s-vintage farmhouseafter two years of devel-oping a comprehensivebusiness plan and search-ing for properties in theTristate.
Dana, a computer pro-grammer, and Jen, whoworked in marketing andpublic relations, met andmarried in Decatur, Illi-nois, before moving tothe farm which then had aBurlington address. Da-na, a native of Ports-mouth, Ohio, made theframe and trim for thebarn quilt and helpedwith varnishing. Ty, aConner graduate whonow lives in Louisville,helped with the designand color choices, as didDebi Black of Milan, Indi-ana, a friend from the artguild who has worked onlarge-scale pieces andwith acrylics.
While most of the veryheavy 8 by 8 foot marineplywood barn quilts aremounted in pieces, OwenElectric linemen Oak No-el, Kenny Berkemeierand Joe Schmiade, usedtheir experience and in-genuity to hang this onein one piece.
In addition to two bedand breakfast rooms,First Farm Inn offerstwo-hour horseback rid-ing sessions. Unlike tra-ditional “trail rides,”Jen’s include basic in-struction in centered rid-ing as well as educationabout how horses thinkand how to communicatewith them. For more in-formation, seewww.firstfarminn.comor on Facebook www.facebook.com/FirstFarmInn/
To see the barn quilt(and the horses in thedrylot below it during theday), drive to 2510 Ste-vens Road. Stevens is adead-end road with aschool bus turn-aroundjust past the bed andbreakfast. You may stopon the road to see thequilt and turn around inthe asphalt driveway orthe school bus turn-around.
The Boone CountyBarn Quilt Trail is a com-munity service project ofthe Florence Woman’sClub. Brochures, includ-ing a map of other barnquilt locations may befound at the Main Libraryon Ky. 18 in Burlingtonand at Cabin Arts in Bur-lington. For more infor-mation, see www.boone-barnquilts. com

Covington Catholic partici-pated for the first time this yearin the Kentucky mock trial com-petition, placing seventh in thestate. Students play the parts oftrial lawyers and witnesses, andthey are judged on their abilityto argue their side of the case.This year’s case was one aboutelection fraud.
According to junior KyleCrail, team captain, mock trialhas helped him build skills in
three important ways.“We build teamwork as we
brainstorm and analyze the casetheory; we use critical thinkingskills when the case takes an un-anticipated turn; and, we learnand practice how things likevoice inflection can improve theimpact of our public speakingskills,” said Kyle, who is nowconsidering a career as a triallawyer.
On CovCath’s team, Marcus
Maier and Avery Dietz joinedKyle as the plaintiff attorneys.Zach Thapar, Trey Rottinghaus,and Nate Schumacher repre-sented the defendant. DannyMatos, Will Akin, and JacobKennedy played the witnesses.
During the state competition,Nate Schumacher was namedthe outstanding attorney onCovCath’s team, and Jacob Ken-nedy was named the outstand-ing witness. The team iscoached by U.S. District Court

Fewer than 120 universitiesin the nation have a nurse anes-thesia program, but that num-ber will soon grow by one pend-ing accreditation from theCouncil on Accreditation ofNurse Anesthesia EducationalPrograms (COA).
Northern Kentucky Univer-sity is developing a nurse anes-thesia program that will help fillthe local and national shortageof Certified Registered NurseAnesthetists (CRNAs).
“We are pleased to expandour educational offerings to fillthe national and local need forCRNAs,” said Dr. Dale Scalise-Smith, dean of the College ofHealth Professions.
The program was developedby Dr. William Terry Ray, for-mer director of the Universityof Cincinnati Nurse AnesthesiaMajor. Dr. Ray will direct theprogram, which is expected tolaunch in May 2017 with appli-cations for admission acceptedbeginning June 1, 2016.
The Nurse Anesthesia Pro-gram, as designed, is a 36-month (106 semester hours) cur-
riculum culminating in a Doctorof Nursing Practice nurse anes-thesia specialization with a pop-ulation focus of the family/indi-vidual across a lifespan.
Graduates will be eligible forthe National Board of Certifica-tion and Recertification ofNurse Anesthetists NationalCertification Exam and to as-sume the role of an AdvancedPractice Registered Nurse as aCertified Registered NurseAnesthetist.
In Kentucky, only MurrayState University offers the pro-gram. In Greater Cincinnati,the University of Cincinnati of-fers a master’s-level NAP pro-gram. NKU’s program will alsopartner with regional healthcare providers such as St. Eliza-beth Healthcare, Good Samari-tan Hospital, Bethesda NorthHospital, Cincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Center andothers for clinical practice.

I know the older I get the fast-er time goes, but gosh, May is justflying by. Memorial Day is almosthere.
It’s a special day for me andmy family. We attend open air (ifweather permits) Mass at St. Phi-lomena church, one of the oldestchurches in our county. We plantmy mom’s mint on her and mydad’s graves, and the kids help mearrange flowers. It’s a meaningfultradition for sure.
Memorial Day honors our fallen sol-diers and those others who have passed,and many of us will celebrate the day as akick-off to picnic season. I couldn’t waitto share these yummy recipes.
Reader’s dilemma solvedWhite cake from scratch that is light
textured like store boughtReader Annie Hoffman, a talented and
inquisitive baker, makes wedding cakes.Annie told me: “ For years I havesearched for a scratch vanilla cake recipe
that isn’t the consistency of cornbread, and has that bouncy textureof a box mix, without using a boxmix. Is there such a thing? I havetried hundreds, yes, that many, tono avail. My cake business is allscratch except for vanilla, peoplejust like the mix better. Help if youcan.”
Rose Levy Beranbaum to therescue. Regardless of how busy thisfamous celebrity baker and notedcookbook author is, Rose always
responds quickly. Rose suggested herwhite velvet cake. “It is soft, tender, fla-vorful and far superior to any box cakemix. It’s in my book “The Cake Bible.”
Rose has an engaging blog on her site:www.realbakingwithrose.com. I suggestyou subscribe to it.

World’s best slow cooker creamed corn
The slow cooker creamed corn is so popular that just about everyone wants tomake it. I first heard about it from my neighbor Erin who made it for a family gathering.“It was so good,” she said.
Then my friend Sue Marks, a Mount Washington reader and host of “FoodThoughts,” a radio show for the blind and visually impaired, sent me the recipe. Afterthat, it went viral and you know the rest.
2-1/2 pounds frozen yellow corn1 cup whipping cream (you could also use half & half)8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature, chunked up1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese6 tablespoons butter, room temperature, cut up1 tablespoon sugar or substituteSalt and pepper to taste
Spray slow cooker. Put cream, crew, cheese and butter in slow cooker and whiskuntil almost smooth. Stir in rest of ingredients. Cover and cook on low 4-5 hours, stirringoccasionally, or until mixture is smooth and creamy and corn is crisp tender.
Mississippi mud cake
For the Northern Kentucky reader who lost her recipe in a move. “I want the recipe that’s madefrom scratch. It’s always the first dessert to disappear at our Memorial Day picnic,” she said.
1 cup butter1/2 cup cocoa2 cups sugar4 large eggs, lightly beaten1-1/2 cups flour1 teaspoon vanilla1-1/2 cups chopped pecans4 cups mini marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350. Put butter and cocoa together and cook over low heat until butter melts.Transfer to mixing bowl. Add sugar and eggs, beat on medium until blended. Add flour and vanilla.Beat until blended. Stir in pecans. Spoon batter into sprayed 13x9 pan. Bake 35 minutes. Removefrom oven and immediately sprinkle marshmallows over hot cake. Then immediately spread frostingover the marshmallows. It will look bumpy. Cool and then chill before slicing.
Chocolate frosting
Beat on medium speed until smooth, adding a bit more milk if too stiff:
1 pound confectioners sugar, sifted or put through a sieve to remove lumps1/2 cup milk1/2 cup cocoa4 tablespoons butter, softened

There’s a saying that everywar the world has ever seenhas been fought over a wom-an. In Jim Alls’s case, a fightover women just might havebeen his saving grace in themidst of the war.
Jim, an Independenceresident, enlisted for duty inthe U.S. military on June 7,1942 – or, as he remembers it,“exactly six months after thebombing of Pearl Harbor.” At15, he was underage but con-
vinced hisfather to lethim enlist,promising tofinish hisschoolingwhen he re-turned. “Iwanted anaviation rate,”he says, remi-niscing. “But Iput submarineworker as mylast choice.”
That would prove to be a veryfateful decision on Jim’s part.
After initially flunking outof submarine school becauseof nervousness, Jim ran into alieutenant on his way backfrom the movies one day andtold him how much he wantedto be on a submarine. Thelieutenant, seeing Jim’s sin-cerity, pulled some stringsand Jim was allowed to takehis tests again. He passed andwas eventually assigned a jobon the USS Flier. They werevery “hard up” for guys onsubmarines – after all, notmany men were too eager tobe confined to the tightspaces one encountered whenaboard a submarine.
Jim’s personal war begansometime in June 1944. Whenthe Flier docked in Australia,Jim was assigned shore pa-trol. Part of his duty was toround up all the men when itwas time to go back on thesubmarine. Jim entered a barto collect a wayward drunkensailor who was in the midst ofan argument with a group ofNew Zealanders. Accordingto Jim, these soldiers claimedwhile they were out fightingthe war in New Guinea,Americans were taking theirwomen. After trying unsuc-cessfully to remove his friendfrom the brawl that ensued,someone smashed a beer muginto the left side of Jim’s face.His world went black.
He woke up several hourslater in a dark alley andflagged down an AustralianArmy truck that drove him toa hospital. He was then trans-ported to a Navy hospital,where his smashed jaw wasreset by a dentist with noNovocain to offer. “Two bigsailors had to hold me down,”he recalls with a smile thatshows no signs of ever havingbeen damaged.
For the next few weeks,Jim existed on a diet of milk
and raw eggs mixed together.The rubber bands holdingparts of his jaw in placehelped him acquire the nickname “Mush Mouth.” Afterbeing told he would be wel-comed back onto the Flierupon its return from patrol,he was eager to do everythinghe could to ensure a quickrecovery.
As weeks went by andJim’s jaw began to heal nice-ly, he was allowed to leave thehospital and stroll aroundtown as he pleased. One day,he ran into his good friendwho was in Navy intelligence.After talking a while, Jimmentioned how he was wait-ing for the Flier to return sohe could “get back out there.”After hearing this, his friendgot up and walked away, be-
fore turning around to say,“The Flier isn’t coming back.”
The USS Flier struck anaval mine and sank on Aug.12, 1944, in the Balabic Strait.Jim later found out that onlyeight of the 80 members hadsurvived. “That was an emo-tional reunion,” he recallswith a wavering voice. “The
guilt was awful.” Only aftermany years was Jim able totalk about his experiences aswell as shed his survivorsguilt.
As his wife, Jackie, says,sharing his story is therapeu-tic for him. “On the Flierespecially, everybody likedeverybody. Everybody wouldhelp each other. They werelike one big family,” he states,his eyes glistening in remem-brance.
Jim leads me back to asmall room, which he uses asan office but which also hasframed newspaper clippings,photos and other Flier memo-rabilia nearly covering thewalls. He points to a blackand white photo of a youngsoldier. “That was DonaldSee,” he says. “He took myplace on the Flier, and he wasone of the men who died.”
A few moments of silencepass after Jim says this. Inthe absence of words, one cansense the immeasurable lossJim and the other survivors –as well as the victims’ lovedones – must have felt. Overthe years, Jim has met manyfamily members of the menwho died on the Flier. He hasalso suffered from recurringdreams about his formercomrades asking him why it’staking him so long to jointhem. In the years since thesinking of the Flier, Jim haslearned to use his survival asa gift to those who never sawtheir family members returnfrom the war.
On our walk back into theliving room, Jim begins to tella story about one of the menon the submarine and how hefailed to flush properly afterusing the bathroom. Helaughs as he recalls that theman had to scrub the wallsfor three days straight. Herelaxes in his chair as herecalls other humorous talesabout his time on the Flier,and it is easy to see that atalmost 89 years old, he stillmaintains a great sense ofhumor.
He possesses a gentle na-ture and exudes calmness andjoy in his everyday life. Per-haps this is why he was ableto overcome such a tragedyand go on to tell his story toothers.
Almost 72 years later, Jimis the last living member ofthe USS Flier. He has longsince accepted that he wassaved for a reason, althoughhe is still not certain whatthat reason is. One thing iscertain, though. When heentered that bar in June 1944to save his friend from agroup of angry cuckoldedsoldiers, he was really savinghimself.

THE ENQUIRER/PATRICK REDDY
Jim Alls, of Independence, 88, is the only living original crew member ofthe 88-man crew of the World War II submarine USS Flier. Alls washospitalized after a bar fight in Australia in 1944 and not aboard when thesubmarine struck a mine and sank en route to intercept a Japanese convoyin the Pacific Theater. Eight members of the crew managed to swim about5 miles to land. All the survivors of the sinking have since died.
Last week’s questionWhat is the significance of
Memorial Day to you?
“Remembering the brave,selfless men and women whosacrificed their lives to protectour country and our freedoms.This weekend we spend lots oftime visiting grave sites andhonoring memories.”
Kathy Mills“Memorial Day is a federal
holiday in the United States forremembering the people whodied while serving in the coun-
try's armed forces. I think itshould be extended to includethose who lost their lives asfiremen and policemen. To meit is the unofficial beginning ofsummer, the end of the schoolyear and time to pause and re-member those who served thiscountry and gave the ultimatesacrifice.”

What have tea partymembers accomplished?
On May 19, the Recorderprinted a rebuttal to my letter ofMay 5 regarding the GOP’s ac-complishments in passing andratifying the 13th Amendmentoutlawing slavery, the 14th
Amendment requiring states toprovide due process and equalprotection of the law to all peo-ple in them, the 15th Amendmentgiving men of color the right tovote and the 19th Amendmentgiving all women the right tovote.
I also mentioned that the Re-publican Party always has beenthe champion of freedom andliberty, that it was Republicanswho got the 1964 Civil Rights Actpassed, that it has been Repub-licans who have made the Southsafer for African-Americans.That is why their net migrationhas been back into the South in-stead of out of the South whenthe Democrat slavers and seg-regationists ruled.
In his rebuttal, Mr. J.B. Smith(no relation) went off the railsand made a fundamentally dis-honest and snide editing of whatI had written. He changed mywording to blame Establish-ment Republicans for giving theRepublican Party the “lumps re-cently” when I specifically stat-ed the GOP took the lumps be-cause of “the contentious presi-dential campaigns and the stri-dency of the tea party rightwingers.”
Apparently Mr. J.B. Smith isa tea party member.
My purpose in writing what Idid was to educate. I wanted toshow the tea party people in par-ticular what the EstablishmentRepublicans have done through-out history. J.B, in quoting theConstitution, George Washing-ton and James Madison, invokedpeople who lived before the Re-publican Party was even found-ed. It was the Establishment Re-publicans who took those princi-ples and turned them into theConstitutional Amendmentslisted above. Read them again.
And now, the tea party peoplecome along chock full of self-righteousness and act like theyare the only ones who champion-ing the principles of limited gov-ernment, free markets and fis-cal responsibility. I can assureyou J.B., us Establishment Re-publicans have fought for thoseprinciples long before you teapots were even born.
Look at the Amendmentsabove. What have you tea potsdone that comes close to creat-ing them?

ALEXANDRIA - Newowners are digging in tocontinue offering Certi-fied Naturally Grownfood from CampbellCounty’s original Com-munity Supported Agri-culture (CSA) farm.
A CSA allows people towork on the farm and re-ceive crops weekly foreating. Greensleevesuses no chemical fertiliz-ers or hormones to growfood on 12 hilltop acres at10851 Pleasant RidgeRoad south of Alexan-dria.
Greensleeves has 22residents as CSA mem-bers and has no currentopenings for new mem-bers. The farm sells veg-etables to restaurants in-cluding Metropole inside21c Museum Hotel in Cin-cinnati and Salazar NewAmerican Restaurant inOver-the-Rhine. Green-sleeves offers education-al tours and programs forschools and communitymembers.
Maureen Sheldon ofVilla Hills and CorinneRasche of Woodlawn,Kentucky took over thefarm from founderGretchen Vaughn in Jan-uary.
Vaughn, a retiredNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity theater professorwho founded Green-sleves a decade ago,moved to Wisconsin to becloser to family. “We’retrying to carry on whatGretchen started,” Shel-don said.
Sheldon said Green-sleeves maintains a natu-rally grown certification,a non-U.S. Department ofAgriculture certificationas a less expensive alter-native to the USDA’s or-ganic certification.
Everything at Green-sleeves is raised organi-cally, and other certifiednatural farmers reviewevery purchase the farmmakes and required re-ports about techniquesused on the farm.
Educating peopleabout ways to avoid foodsraised with hormones,pesticides and geneticmodifications is thefarm’s mission, Sheldonsaid.
“People need to learnwhere their food is com-ing from and not be pas-sive about what they con-sume,” she said.
Bee hives have beenbrought to the farm tostart raising honey. Dirt,
a grocery at Findlay Mar-ket, has started sellingGreensleeves crops thisspring.
Sarah Covington,farm manager, said peo-ple are realizing howmuch energy is wastedfrom not buying food lo-cally.
Dirt is featuringGreensleeves in a videoalong with Turner Farmin Cincinnati and Car-riage House Farm ofNorth Bend, Ohio, Co-vington said.
CSA members pick uptheir weekly shares offood in the summer ei-ther at the CovingtonFarmers Market or atGreensleeves. The farmstand at Greensleeves isopen from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Monday through Thurs-day.
“You can either stop inand pick your own thingout of the fields or go intoa walk-in cooler,” Coving-
ton said.Cincinnati State pro-
fessor Ann Gunkel,brings her environmen-tal science classes toGreensleeves each yearto see how a CSA works.
“It’s just the wholeidea of Community Sup-ported Agriculture andjust showing studentshow they can make a dif-ference and grow theirown food if need be,”Gunkel said.
Cincinnati State runsits own CSA “Our Har-vest,” but studentswatching Greensleevesworkers get to see how anindependent operationworks, she said.
Greensleeves mem-bers receive more than adozen vegetables weeklyfor 25 weeks from aspar-agus to potatoes and on-ions.

INDEPENDENCE -Megan Andrew, 14, lovesthe library.
Andrew visits the DurrBranch of the KentonCounty Public Library atleast once a week.
“I love the library andeveryone there. They allknow me by name,” An-drew said. “It’s a greatplace.”
During one of her visitsAndrew had an idea to dosomething special for theplace she dearly loves.She recruited her fellowGirl Scouts from Troop1640 to take on a projectfor the library. The girlsare working to improve agarden area on the proper-ty.
They have collectedvarious recycled items –an old mailbox, flowerpots and CDs – to make agarden sculpture, decora-tive bird bath and step-pingstones. They’re alsocollecting bottle caps thatwill be melted down tomake a 4-foot, green parkbench.
Their theme is “Past,Present and Future Au-thors.” The sculptures,bird bath and stepping-stones will represent ei-ther Dr. Suess orJ.K. Row-ling. To represent the fu-ture author they will makea mirrored gazing ball, sothat garden visitors canlook into the ball and see“a future author.” Thegirls will also do plantings.
The plan is to unveil thegarden later this spring.The girls will work withyounger Girl Scouts and
the Real Girls StandStrong group at WoodlandMiddle School to maintainthe garden.
Durr children’s coordi-nator Joel Caithamer saidhe is excited about theproject. It’s somethinghe’s wanted for that areafor a long time.
“We originally wantedto create some kind of spe-cial area for people towalk through but we real-ly didn’t have anyone tomaintain the area. Now wedo,” he said. “It’s going tobe a fun thing to see. Thebest part of this project iswe’re connecting with thecommunity which issomething we strive to do.
“Members of our com-munity are taking a vestedinterest in the library.They’re not just checkingout books, but putting intime on a project here.That’s what we’re about,getting the community in-volved in the library.”

Notre Dame Academy hasdominated Northern Kentuckygirls tennis during its 21-yearstreak of regional champion-ships. Sometimes but not alwayshas that success translated tothe final stages of the KHSAAstate tourney.
That changed last week whensenior Francie Case and juniorKylie Moellering played in thestate doubles semifinal May 21.The fourth seed in the tourney,the Pandas lost to the eventualstate runner-ups fromMcCracken County, seniorMadelyn Kauffman and eighth-grader Sophia Shiben.
“They just need to keep play-ing their game,” said NDA headcoach Lyndsey Molony-May-nard after their quarterfinalmatch. “They were serving welltoday, approaching the net andstaying aggressive. That’s whenthey’re playing their best.”
Case and Moellering are thefourth doubles team from NDAto reach the semis since May-nard and sister Molly lost in thesemis in 2000, and the first since2013. Molly Molony and JackieVilines won the state champion-ship in 2001, then separatelyreached the singles semis thefollowing year. Two Pandashave reached the singles semissince then, including MadieCook winning it all in 2012.
Molony-Maynard reachedthe state semis four times as a
player, including winning thedoubles title with sister Kara asa freshman and finishing asstate singles runner-up as asophomore. The new coach, whoreplaced longtime mentor RobHardin, had plenty of wisdom toshare with her players from herown experience.
“If you’re not enjoying it, it’snot worth it,” she said. “Youneed to enjoy yourself out thereand the environment, the stageyou’re on. You have to play towin. If you’re scared and play-ing not to lose, it’s probably notgoing to be a good outcome. En-joy the moment and compete.”
Case and Moellering won twomatches on day two. The firstone was over an unseeded teamfrom Scott County. Notre Damelost the first set 6-2 but won thesecond 6-3, then prevailed 10-6in the third-set tiebreaker. Un-der KHSAA rules, the third setis played directly as a 10-pointtiebreaker.
The Pandas then reboundedto trounce the 5-8 seed from Sa-cred Heart in the quarterfinals,6-2, 6-3.
“They had a tough match thismorning and started off a littleslow,” Maynard said. “Theyturned things around and stayedfocused and came back strong.In the quarters, they werestrong out of the gate. Theywere playing well from the be-ginning and they didn’t let themback in the match. They werelooking good out there.”
Covington Catholic’s Blake
Heimbrock and Benito Trojaniadvanced in doubles and lost tothird-seeded Keifer Mays andNoah Tapp Friday in the roundof 16.
CovCath sophomore MaxCook was shut out in round threeby top seed Drew Singerman ofSt. Xavier in the round of 16.Singerman, last year’s runner-up, won the title this year. JuniorAnthony Bosch, the Ninth Re-gion champ, lost a tough 7-6, 6-4decision in round two at state.
Case and Moellering had sur-vived a Northern Kentuckybracket Thursday. Theyknocked off Simon Kenton sen-ior Natalie Hahn and junior Lau-ryn Reckner in the secondround after the Pioneers hadousted Campbell County seniorsDana Pangburn and Lauren Se-bastian.
“It was pretty good,” said SKhead coach Nathan Gilbert.
“The girls started out slow in theCampbell match but they pickedit up in the second set. AgainstNotre Dame they played verywell in the first set, even thoughit was 6-2. Notre Dame playedreally well in the second set andtook over.”
Hahn and Reckner were theseventh seed in the regionaltourney and knocked off thesecond seed from Dixie lastweek to earn a berth at state. Ju-nior Emily Montgomery andsophomore Olivia Bowling werethe sixth seeded doubles team inregionals and both return nextyear. Sisters Stephanie and Cas-sie Saner return in singles.
“(Hahn and Reckner) had arough middle of the season andthey were able to turn thingsaround and peak at the righttime. It was good to see,” Gilbertsaid. “We’re graduating onestarter and three overall. We
have a chance to continue grow-ing. We have a lot of young talentwho is itching to make the varsi-ty lineup and make an impact.There is a lot of competitionwithin the team itself.”
Beechwood’s Elizabeth Paw-sat, a senior, and seventh-graderKatherine Taylor were eliminat-ed by a pair of twins from Du-Pont Manual Friday morning inthe round of 16: 6-1, 6-2.
The Tigers had pulled off twolong dramatic wins in third-settiebreakers Thursday to ad-vance. Under KHSAA rules, thethird set is played directly as atiebreaker to 10 points. In roundtwo over Garrard County, Paw-sat and Taylor lost the first set,won the second set in a tradition-al tiebreaker to 7, then won thethird-set in extra points, 12-10.
Dixie Heights senior BrookeWarden, the Ninth Regionchampion, lost to Grace Jen-nings of Christian Academy-Louisville in the third round, 6-3,6-0. Jennings went on to win hersecond state championship.
Warden advanced to the thirdround of state for the secondtime in three years
“It feels pretty good. I think Iwas really aggressive today andit worked out in my favor,” saidWarden after her two wins. Shewill play tennis for ThomasMore College next season. “Ineed to try to stay consistentand try to play all the points, goout and play my hardest.”

right after halftime, with theBruins scoring 17 secondsinto the second half to take a10-5 lead.
“That’s the difference,”Marshall said. “The girls onthat team are fantastic funda-mentally. They have beenplaying since they were third,fourth grade. That’s whatthey all do in Louisville. Ourgirls didn’t pick up a stick un-til sophomore or junior year.And they had a shot (today).The experience can’t com-pare. And for us to be evencompeting with them, I’mspeechless about it.”
NDA scored twice early inthe second half on goals byKennedy and Bowie Benderto close within three at 10-7.The teams went 10 minuteswithout scoring before trad-ing quick goals, and it was 11-8with nine minutes to play.
Notre Dame had four pos-sessions in Ballard territorywith the score 11-8 but didn’tfind the net, then Ballardwent on a run to pull away.
“We were 0-9 two years agoand not just 0-9, but we didn’tcompete,” Marshall said.“These girls who were outthere worked at it, and theygot 13-2 this year.”
Defense was the name ofthe game in the district tour-nament, when the Pandasknocked off North Oldham6-2 May 18 for its first-everdistrict title Three of the fourNDA all-tourney picks werebackliners: Junior goalkeep-er Abby Sammons, defenderAllison Boerger and defenderJessica Schumacher.
“We were playing the teamthat has been winning our dis-trict the last few years onend,” Marshall said. “Theyhadn’t lost a game. It was apretty epic victory not justfor the program than for thedistrict itself.”
Going into the tourney,Sammons had been allowingjust under four goals pergame, the best average in thestate. She makes seven savesper game at a two-thirds clip.The percentage of 66 percentis the best in the state.
Schumacher, a sophomore,
leads the team in ground ballswith three per game. The sta-tistic is roughly equivalent tosteals in basketball.
“Six goals usually is notenough to win a lacrossematch,” Marshall said. “(Sam-mons) not only had a fantasticgame but has been huge for usall season. Shots were prettyeven between the two teamsbut she had a high number ofsaves.”
Marshall said communica-tion is a key to lacrosse on de-fense. He said the concept of“help” defense, or double-teaming an attacker near thegoal, is used similar to basket-ball. The sport has a defensivethree-seconds rule prevent-ing a defender from campingout in front of the net withoutan opponent to guard.
Marshall said because ofthe vast space around thegoal, most high school teamsdon’t play man to man defensebut his Pandas have enoughspeed to, which helps limitopen shots near the net.
“The main thing is commu-nication,” he said. “You haveto help your teammates out ondefense. Lacrosse is a fast-paced game. One thing I thinkwe do better than any otherteam I’ve seen is we’re quick.We’re able to slide and help.Man to man is a better de-fense if you have the speed todo it. It works really well onthis team.”
Kennedy was also an all-tourney pick. She had twogoals in both district finals,three against Ballard, and 27for the season. She will playfor Georgetown College nextyear.
Ballard’s speed and skillwas still better on this day,and the Pandas will continueto work through the offseasonand try to catch up to the Bru-ins’ level.
“They decided from theday last season was over thatthey would be committed tolacrosse,” Marshall said.“Several of them played onsummer teams, indoorleagues in fall and winter.Their choice, they signed upfor a conditioning program ontheir own. Lacrosse was ontheir mind 12 months out ofthe year.”

When many of usthink about using ourslow cookers, we visu-alize coming home froma cold day out and enjoy-ing the smells and tastesof a hot cooked meal.But did you ever thinkabout using that slowcooker for meals in thesummertime?
Summer meals areoften cold and light – agreat thing for mostdays. But we do enjoy awarm meal on occasion.The slow cooker canhave that warm mealwaiting for you – with-out heating up yourkitchen. Remember, theenergy use of a slowcooker is quite low, andwon’t involve extraroom heating providedby your oven or stovetopcooking.
At our recent slowcooking class at theKenton County Exten-sion office, we discussedthe characteristics of agood slow cooker recipeand tried a few. One ofthe most importantthings discussed, how-ever, is food safety andthe slow cooker. Al-though they are a simpleappliance to use (oftenjust fill and turn on),basic food safety stepsmust be followed.
» Use thawed foodsonly. When your slowcooker is on low, it iscooking at approximate-ly 170 degrees. Yourslow cooker pot is madeof materials that are notgood conductors of heat,like our stovetop metal-lic pots and pans, andtherefore designed to
lowing bacteria tothrive. So thaw yourfood in the refrigeratorbefore using, or if it isfrozen, thaw in the mi-crowave oven beforeputting in your slowcooker.
» Cooker should beone-half or two-thirdsfull. Slow cookers aredesigned for optimalheat transfer whenfilled to these levels.
This is for both foodquality and food safetyreasons. If you are oftenoverfilling or under-filling, there are a varie-ty of slow cooker shapesand sizes on the market.Most models are rela-tively inexpensive, andmany consumers ownmore than one anyway.
» Keep the lid on!Most slow cooker reci-pes are designed forlittle stirring. Removingthe lid results in theslow cooker needingabout 30 minutes torecover its cooking tem-perature.
» Don’t refrigerateleftovers in the slowcooker pot. As men-tioned earlier, your slowcook pot material isdesigned to heat upslowly. Well these same
characteristics makethe slow cooker pot cooldown slowly. It is impor-tant to remove leftoversfrom the pot and put intoanother suitable con-tainer to store in therefrigerator. This notonly allows the food tocool more quickly, butavoids heating up thewhole refrigerator whenputting a warm crock init.
» Don’t fill yourslow cooker the nightbefore and store it in therefrigerator. We are allbusy in the morning, butthis again, is not a safefood idea. You also in-crease the risk of yourcrock getting cracked asthe cold pot comes incontact with the heatedslow cook base. You canassemble the meal the
night before. Just storeit in another bowl in therefrigerator, or assem-ble it in a slow cookerliners, store it in therefrigerator, and pop itinto the crock in themorning.
» Read manufactur-er’s instructions thatcame with your book.Not only does it tell youimportant informationabout operating yourpot, but it provides reci-pes in amounts designedfor your slow cooker. Asalways, call us at 356-3155 for additional in-formation.

VILLA HILLS – Villa Madonna Acad-emy High School physics students(grades 10-12) created a Kentucky scale-distance model of the solar system.
The Solar System Stroll stretchedfrom Madonna Manor to the back of St.Walburg Monastery.
The scale was 2.8 billion miles inspace for each mile on Villa’s scale. Theplanets were printed on Villa’s 3-D print-er. They were printed to scale so some ofthem are about as big as the tip of a pen-cil.
This project was planned in conjunc-tion with Mercury’s move across the sunalthough it was too overcast to see thattoday on Villa’s campus.
Student planned the event for weeksand did research on each planet. After allthe planets were set around campus, ju-nior high and high school students wereinvited on a tour on the solar system.
